Speech-Language Pathologist
The goal is to develop children’s speech and communication skills and foundational abilities. For each child, the work is tailored to both their age and their individual needs.
Our speech-language pathologist is one of the few in Estonia who also performs facial and oral massage, which helps lay the groundwork for speech development.
Psychology
A child’s comprehensive development requires a certain level of development in the child’s mental processes—such as perception, memory, thinking, and emotional skills. A psychologist assesses personality traits, mental processes, and developmental issues in the child. The psychologist counsels the family and provides the necessary therapies.
Occupational Therapy
The goals of therapy are to improve skills in various areas. These may include, for example, helping the child become aware of their body’s boundaries, maintaining eye contact, and using their hands. They also include understanding rules and boundaries, following instructions and accepting guidance, developing the ability to concentrate and distinguish between things, and teaching the child how to play. The structure of the therapy process depends on the specific child. Play is the most important activity for a child, which is why occupational therapy works toward its goals through play.
Special Education Teacher
In order for a child to succeed in school, he or she should learn, even before starting school, to observe in a way that ensures he or she actually sees, and to listen in a way that ensures he or she actually hears. Understanding and remembering the teacher’s instructions requires attention, perception, thinking, and memory.
During therapy, the child’s memory is trained through specific exercises, and the child learns to count, compare, sequence, group, combine sets, and much more.
Physical Therapy
Movement is the foundation of a child’s overall development. The goal of a physical therapist is to support and foster the child’s independence in age-appropriate daily activities by promoting movement.
Physical therapists have access to a variety of training and assistive devices, including the innovative Grossi exercise machine, which offers a wide range of movement options. The development of movement and body awareness is also fully supported by children’s favorite “horse”—the horse-riding simulator.
Sensory-Motor Therapy
Sensory-motor therapy uses a variety of exercises to improve the interaction between movement and perception. These exercises provide support for a range of neurological challenges, such as learning disabilities ( including dyslexia and dysgraphia), behavioral problems, ADHD, ADD, autism, and Asperger’s syndrome.
Our center uses two different methods to assess reflex development:
The Masgutova Method (MNRI)

INPP

These methodologies are based on the principle that a child’s primary, or primitive, reflexes lay the foundation for a person’s holistic physical, emotional, and cognitive development. The methodologies have been developed as a result of years of scientific research.
Work with the child begins with assessing and mapping the child’s current situation. In collaboration with the parent, clear goals are set based on the child’s individual needs.
Following the assessment, a personalized exercise plan is developed based on the child’s level of neuromotor development. These exercises are typically simple and playful so they can be done daily at home. Throughout this process, the child’s progress is regularly evaluated, and adjustments are made to the plan as needed.
